Ireland (PSNI) on 12th September 2022. I note you seek access to the
following information:
Vehicle Fleet Information
This request will be dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. A response should be sent to you within 20 working
days however I would like to advise you that PSNI are currently
experiencing a delay in the processing of requests and we aim to respond
to your request as soon as possible.
If your request is unclear and clarification is required the 20 day
legislative time limit dictated by the Freedom of Information Act 2000
will be stopped until we receive clarification of your request. The ICO
guidance at paragraph 40 of the link below sets out that the clock begins
anew the day after the clarification is received. It states
“If the requester subsequently provides enough detail to enable the
authority to identify and locate the information, then the authority must
respond to the clarified request within a new 20 working day time limit
with the ‘clock’ starting the day after it receives the required
clarification.”

“appropriate level”, which is fixed at £450, as stated in the Freedom of
Information Regulations 2004, it is the policy of the PSNI to close the
request. You will however be notified of this decision and given an
opportunity to refine and resubmit the request.

public authority in order to answer your query, again, you will be
notified.

do so by writing to the Head of Corporate Information Branch, PSNI
Headquarters, 65 Knock Road, Belfast, BT5 6LE or by emailing

If, following an Internal Review carried out by an independent decision
maker, you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you may
make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office, under Section
50 of the Freedom of Information Act, and ask that they investigate
whether the PSNI has complied with the terms of the Freedom of Information
Act. You can write to the Information Commissioner at ‘Information

their discretion.
Yours sincerely,
